High-quality feathers that match perfectly with my Lady Amherst patterns. The natural and dyed options work well in different fly designs. Easy to work with and consistent in texture.

Used these for a few steelhead patterns and the feathers hold up well. The neck feathers added a natural look to the flies. Great value for the premium grade.

The dyed heads are vibrant and help in creating more visible flies. A bit more expensive than basic options, but the quality is worth it for serious fly tiers.
